Review # 1 was written on 2017-11-16 00:00:00 Andrea Blume Tim Kern, Aero-News Network The 30,000 hour Captain and aircraft mechanic (A&P) spends more time examining and explaining what he sees as the things that have gone away in US commercial air travel since deregulation and up to Sept. 11, 2002 and its aftermath. It is not hard to understand what Captain Brian likes about air transport: strong unions, pilots, mechanics, and ATC. Nor is it hard to tell what he dislikes: the FAA, deregulation, airline management, part 135 operations and ultralightning. You might not agree with him, but you'll have no trouble understanding why he thinks the way he does, as he recounts what he sees as the shortcomings in the various systems, illustrated by actual incidents that back up his points. He gives yet another slant to John F Kennedy Jr's crash in 1999 and says: "Whatever the case, we do know that John F. Kennedy Jr. died following the rules laid out by the FAA which were, and are, at fault."

Review # 2 was written on 2012-10-21 00:00:00 Michael Carney Alex Michelini, Award-winning Investigative Reporter with the New York Daily News Captain Brian Power-Waters has demonstrated once again that he is the Captain Courageous of the airways, telling it like it is about the enduring perils of commercial aviation, just as he has done in Safety Last and Margin For Error: None. When are the airline regulators going to listen to his warnings and avoid the needless loss of lives? He is one of America's most respected authorities on the subject, one that I often relied upon in my own writings exposing the flaws of the industry. This book is another loud and clear wake-up call and a must-read for anyone who believes achieving greater airline safety is a mandatory and reachable goal.
